Tody I got an email notification: "The post Re: Is STM8 recomended for beginners? was moved by Maxime_MARCHETTO1. Reason: Post removed due to generative AI. Explanation: Breach of the ST Community guidelines for AI content use case: https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/why-predominantly-ai-generated-posts-and-replies-on-the-st/ta-p/633785"
I have never used AI to generate any text for a forum post, neither on this nor on any other forum. I cannot see which post was removed, since the link to the removed post just gives me an "Access Denied" error page.
The linked Community Guidelines only state that AI-generated posts will be removed, and "in some cases" the users banned. However, I see no information on how ST determines if a post is AI-generated, how users can appeal decisions, how false positives of whatever mechanism ST uses will be handled.
Solved! Go to Solution.
